Because of the death of Alvin L. Kulieke, President of the Urantia Brotherhood,
and teacher, the spring seminar will be discontinued. These classes may
be scheduled later and you will be advised of the date.

Sales of the Urantia Book averaged about 510 per month during 1972 --
total for the year was 6,139 - 223 more than in 1971. Over 30,000 have
been sold or otherwise disseminated since publication. The fourth printing
is now in process.

Excerpts from letters received recently:

Mento, Ohio -- "Though I do not profess to be so completely intelligent
as to absorb the book's entirety, its essence is so positive, that I lay
claim to at least partial understanding of Parts 1 and 2. By accepting
the fact that man cannot comprehend all that is happening around and to
him, there is at least a joy in finding the universes and beyond so spectacular,
so profound, yet so friendly and filled with love."

Qualicum Beach, B.C., Canada -- "Thank you for whatever you have
done to make the Urantia Book a reality. After searching all my life in
the philosophies and religions of men for validation of my own ongoing
experiences. I felt a tremendous sense of relief; of home-coming, when
I got into this marvelous book."

It is with deep regret that we inform you of the death of Alvin L. Kulieke,
president of the Urantia Brotherhood, which occurred on January 14, 1973.
He was serving his sixth year as president of the Brotherhood. For many
years he has worked in our organization as teacher, counselor, administrator,
and friend. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him in our organization
and by his family.

"You humans have begun an endless unfolding of an almost infinite
panorama, a limitless expanding of never-ending, ever-widening spheres
of opportunity for exhilarating service, matchless adventure, sublime uncertainty,
and boundless attainment. When the clouds gather overhead, your faith should
accept the fact of the presence of the indwelling Adjuster, and thus you
should be able to look beyond the mists of mortal uncertainty into the
clear shining of the sun of eternal righteousness on the beckoning heights
of the mansion worlds of Satania." p. 1104
